Inspiration and Simple Practices to Cultivate Kindness and Compassion


Renew your sense of connection—to others, to the world, and to yourself—with this set of inspiring lessons and guided practices, all delivered by teachers steeped in Buddhist wisdom. Well known from the pages of Lion’s Roar magazine, they’re your guides to developing ease in both your body and mind, even as you work with life’s challenges.

  • Create positive new patterns that can transform the way you live
  • Settle and relax your body for a greater feeling of ease
  • Connect more deeply with others
  • Face life’s challenges with resilience and peace

"We think we know ourselves and yet... there is so much that we don't know. And what it requires is that we have a conversation."

Rachel Neumann
